. of different denominations and diameters and retaining them on the card without liability of accidental displacement therefrom.

It consists further of means for conveniently uncovering the coin and allowing access thereto for the 4purpose of removal of the same.

The'invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, butthe important instrumentalities thereof Vmay be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific de tails shown and described.

Figure l represents a perspective view of a coin-mailing card embodying my invention, thevsame showinga coin placed thereon preparatory tobeing inclosed. Fig. 2 represents a face view of a portion thereof. Fig. 3 represents a rear view ofia portion thereof. Fig. 4 represents a section on the line few-m Fig. 2. Fig. 5 represents a perspective view of a portion of the `cardfwith the coin removed therefrom.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring `to the dra-wings, l designates Y a card in which is a circular opening or pocket 2 for the reception of a coin of money and a-quadrilateral opening 3, which is in communication withl said opening 2, and adapted to contain a slidable or movable piece Ll of card-board or other suitable ma# terial and which I denominate as a slide,` the terminal of the same toward said opening 2 being-recessed as at 5, so as to engage with the peripheral rim of a coin placed in said opening. Whatever may be the diameter of 4said coin, thefintention being to makel it possible for the slide to retain in place within the pocket 2 coins not only of the diameter of said pocket ybut oflesser d1- ameters. It will be seen also that while said pocket is adapted to receive coins ofv diifer- Y ont denominations and diameter,said slide is adapted to engage with the periphery of any coin locatable in said pocket, and thus a singleslide, and a single pocket will accomplish the intended purpose of mailing coins of different `denominations and diameters in Y 'the'one location in the card.

To the back `of the cardis secured the piece: 6 of cardboard or k,other 4suitable ma-V terial, theA same being located over they openings 2 and 3, and serving to cover and close the latter at the rear thereof to prevent the slide and coin from falling therethrough.

7 designates a flap which may be denomi- Y nated a sticker 'for coveringl the coin when occupying theopening k2, the same being formed of av pie'ce'of sufficiently stout paper,v or other suitable material whichis provided. at its upper end withthe tongue Swhich is passed .through the slit 9 inthe card and turned down on the covering piece 6 and secured thereto byadhesive material or other meansit being noticed that the place of connection l0 of the Hap 7 with the tongue 8 forms a hingevwhereby said flap maf,T be raised and lowered from and to the front face of the card. f

Connected with the lower end of the flap and appearing on the 4outer face thereof is the tab or iingerpiece l1 which in the present casey passes through a slit 12in said iiap andhas a portion 13 gummed or otherwise attached tothe rear faceof said flap, thus securing the tab to said flap. Y The rear face of the yliap is gummedforrhas adhesive material le applied thereto, it being noticed thatqthe diameter of saidfflap is such that when it is in closed position, it

fully covers the opening?. and overlaps the wall thereof'and also covers Vportion of the slide 4. YThe end Aor" the slide 4e opposite to the recess 5 hasthe recess l5 therein for the leave the wall 16 which closes said opening preventing the outward displacement or loss of the slide from the card at said edge. Said wall 16 also prevents the spreadingV of the card at 'said opening andthe tearing out of the latter.

' The operation is as follo-wsz-Acoin'of a diameter equal to 'or less than that ofthe pocket isdeposited in the pocket 2, and the slide 4 moved up to thesame. Then the gummed side of the flap is moistened and the i Hapy turned down on the card over said v 'pocket ivhen it adheres to the adj acent` pory tion of the cardand slide; This completely c is now covers the coin and prevents it'from drop-k ping outwardly from the pocket While the slidejis held immovable against the coin and prevents the latter `from shifting'fromjits set position inthe pocket and rattling therein.y The card is now placed in an envelop to be mailed to its destinationit resting latin tlieei'ivclop'` Withoutl 'causing bulges on the latter;A When it ar 1ives there the envelop is opened and the card Withdrawn. The tab 1l drawn,outwardly and upwardlyk When the Y,unguinmed portion of the Hap )7 from the slit 12 therein to the hinge. 10 is torn oli or `severed from the remaining adhering porftion of the ap, thus exposingand uncoveri ing the coin when thelatter may be removed from the pocket, Y

It vvill be noted that tliecoinLholding mem ber or slide asidel from Vserving tofhold coinsv of different "diameters, 'is Vconfined Wholly andV at all times ivithinthe cardy so that no Yportion thereof projects Abeyond the edge of thecard't'o be torn oflforv otherwise injured. it islimited in its movement by the shoulder formed atfthe end or the recess in which it is l guided.
